When heating several different
types of food together, foods which
should
bc
served hot must
be
placed
on
the oven tloor. while foods which
are only warmed should
be
placed on
the shelf. This is because microwave
energy cntcrs the oven from
the
bottom only.
Also.
it
is important
to remember that foods absorb
microwave energy at different rates.
Ratcs can be affected by the size of
thc
fotd.
and its starting temperature.
Bccause ofthe varying rates, you
may need
to
start reheating a large
or dense
food

less dense foods. Alternately,
if
one ofthe foods you are heating
seems undercooked but the others
are heated satisfactorily,
let
the
underheated food continue cooking.
